Snook Posted December 24, 2014 #1 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I've always wondered how Santa gets to all of the cruise ships at sea? Is there some kind of special GPS that guides him to each of the ships? Just wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Copper10-8 Posted December 24, 2014 #3 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) On Christmas Day there are regular P/A announcements by the cruise director about an UFO approaching the ship, usually coupled with a video of a jolly old guy dressed in red. No one knows exactly where or how he lands his sleigh onboard the ship but crew who has seen it happen swear up and down the old guy is one heck of a pilot. Santa will definitely make an appearance, usually in the main show lounge on the morning of the 25th. Tonight, Christmas Eve, is the time for the Christmas concert, consisting of performances in the main show lounge by the Indonesian Choir, the Filipino Choir and the International Choir Edited December 24, 2014 by Copper10-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellieanne Posted December 24, 2014 #5 Share Posted December 24, 2014 My husband's mother told him that they send a letter to Santa to let them know if they'll be away from home on Christmas Eve. So maybe Santa gets lots of letters from other Moms & Dads and is on the lookout for ships as he flies over the oceans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoobCruise Posted December 25, 2014 #7 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I think Santa gets a little help from NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command). They keep track of Santa and they keep track of all the ships for Santa. http://www.noradsanta.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She/he is responsible for coordinating Santa's journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBC Posted December 26, 2014 #21 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Watched Santa board the Zaandam yesterday afternoon!!! He was on the last tender from Castro, Isla Chiloé, Chile. He had several elves with him but the reindeer stayed on the island for a rest. Apparently they had, had a very long day and were facing another long journey back to the North Pole.

I would love to hear all of the different choirs. Maybe you could suggest to corporate that they record the Christmas Eve concert and sell the DVD.

Queen of DaNile Posted December 27, 2014 #25 Share Posted December 27, 2014 And an Interdenominational Worship was held at 12:00mm on the Zuiderdam. The International Christmas Choir was quite an emotional experience. Very beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
